Speaker Topic – Culture Eats Strategy …. and these 8 cultural dimensions are the reason why
“Culture eats strategy” – this famous statement has been proven many times on projects. Culture exists at many levels, but eight key dimensions underpin how the structure of our messages can shape the impact of our messages.
In this seminar we explore these eight key dimensions, and how we can better tailor our messages to engage the stakeholders in our world.
In the words of Erin Meyer, INSEAD professor and author of The Culture Map (2014), ‘even seasoned, cosmopolitan managers often have oversimplified ideas about how people from other cultures operate. That’s because they tend to zero in on just one or two elements—communication, for example, or decision making. But culture is more complex than that. To get an accurate picture, you need to gauge cognitive, relational, and behavioral differences along the eight dimensions where cultural gaps are most common—and to assess yourself in those areas.’
And that is precisely what this session will allow you to do. We will briefly examine the 8 dimensions –
- communication
- evaluating
- persuading
- building trust
- deciding
- leading
- disagreeing
- scheduling
– and then explore how we can use them to develop our influence equity with the cultural groups that make up our project universe.

Topic – Conversational Leadership
Successful managers no longer rely on the traditional authority of the “command and control” culture to deliver outcomes. Increasing evidence suggests that force and directive behaviour does not result in long- term commitment. Instead, we need to foster relationships and influence to build commitment and accountability in our teams.
This requires a whole new style of leadership – authentic leadership – which is focused on developing self, building relationships and influencing others to deliver a shared vision and outcome.
At the heart of this leadership is the ability to communicate effectively. It is no secret that success requires good communication skills but recent research into how the brain functions suggests we may need to change how we use our communication skills. It is not necessarily the flashy, highly visible leader that delivers the best results, but the leader whose conversational, questioning style elicits new thinking, fosters accountability and builds commitment and passion.
Using a case study approach, this seminar applies the latest research into the neurosciences, emotional intelligence and social awareness to explore the communication challenges leaders encounter daily. We provide practical tools and techniques that help us restructure our everyday conversations to
- lead ourselves
- lead our teams, and
- lead our organisations towards greater effectiveness. Participants will have the opportunity to practice various conversational and questioning techniques that build trust, defuse conflict and promote problem-solving thinking. Who should attend? This seminar is aimed at leaders and potential leaders in organisations – those who desire to communicate more effectively with stakeholders and clients, peers and team members. It is tailored for participants who understand that leadership is a decision and an attitude, a skill that can (and must) be developed at every levels of the organisation.
